mechanical stresses, eg when used with hydraulic lines. The smooth, dirt-repellent
contour of the sidebands with their encapsulated stroke system prevents the intrusion
of any foreign bodies. The covers can be opened and removed easily on the inside or
outside to load the cable carriers, and the interior of the TKA55 can be modularly
partitioned with various divider solutions for even cable distribution.
The optimised geometry of the chain links and a triple encapsulated stroke system
allow the TKA55 to span extensive unsupported sections. The integrated gliding
surfaces make the cable carrier a suitable solution for long travel lengths. Integrated
noise damping ensures that the cable carrier runs silently and with low vibration at all
times. The closed cable carrier by Tsubaki Kabelschlepp is available in six interior widths
between 50 and 175mm.
